24. Their goddamn assets should have been seized on DAY 1...
and they should have been held at gunpoint until they developed a reasonable amount of urgency to both tell the truth and fix the leak.

You could tell from the very beginning where this this was heading.

19. Doncha know BP rawks?

22. I hate Tony Hayward more than I have hated anyone in my life.
I also hate any one who works for BP that they put in front of a camera, because you can automatically assume that they are a lying fuck.

23. Do you have a link to one of the gusher cams that works?
The one I have been watching on and off for weeks at the BP site appears to be "temporarily" out of service.
